Trump contradicts energy chief on gas prices

President Donald Trump has publicly contradicted his Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, over predictions for gas prices. Wright had stated that Americans should not expect prices to return below $3.00 a gallon until later this year or potentially 2027. Trump dismissed that forecast as wrong, asserting he expects prices to lower as soon as the ongoing conflict with Iran concludes. The comments highlight internal administration differences on economic policy as the war continues to impact global energy markets.
